Yuni, or boy, after all, he himself was not so clear that he could recognize the new name. In short, he woke up. He was lying in bed, maybe it was a bed, you can't explain why the bed was such an object to someone who had never enjoyed it since he was born, but at least it was comfortable enough to lie down.

The things under his head were soft enough to avoid diaphragm. He was unwilling to open his eyes because he was afraid that everything his body felt was a dream now, and when he woke up, he had to struggle to survive like a mouse on the wet and cold deck. He was too scared and even began to tremble involuntarily.

But this hesitation did not last long, fear could not solve its root cause. No matter how much it resisted, it would come when it should happen. The boy slowly opened his eyes and prepared to welcome the dim scene.

But he was disappointed. In front of him was the wooden board, not the tall wooden board that separates the upper and lower floors, but the more refined and shorter wooden boards. It will not make people desperate, but will feel safe.

"It seems you're finally awake, it's great." A voice sounded not far away, and the boy immediately bounced from his lying down, hoping to make sure that the sound did not mean harm. Then he saw the light, not the fire, not the torch, grease, the light emitted by the burning of the human body or something, which was a gentle light, shining from the translucent glass with a little color, and shining on the person who was talking.

The man was wearing a wide gray clothing, and the hood hanging on his shoulders did not cover his face. The boy had no energy to learn to judge his race and origin from the color of a person's hair and skin. He only knew that the other person was probably a human, which was very good because in most cases, humans would not eat the same race, and at most they would beat him to drive him away.

The question is whether he can still be identified as a member of the same race. However, this worry did not last long. Soon, the boy saw more things from the person in front of him, which was an inexplicable sense of uneasiness, as if something else was hidden under his human skin.

Cheese didn't give the apprentice much time to think. He didn't expect this child who was not even speaking well to get a correct conclusion through observation, so he chose a more direct way. The magic light began to flash in the mage's eyes. For a moment, the rest of the room became dim, and only Cheese's eyes were the only bright object.

He pointed lightly and the invisible power hit Yuni, so that the child would not make a scream or other actions he would have when he was stimulated. This was a spell used to stabilize the mind. It was originally used for meditation, but now it was used by him to improve the apprentice's ability to accept.

"Looking into my eyes, child. Now I need to let you know some situations and some situations related to you." The mage's voice was filled with magic that made people listen attentively. He was not worried that it would scare Yuni while stabilizing the apprentice's mind. "Your past is gone, and it will still bring you memories and affect your personality and judgment. But just like moving forward with a mountain behind your back, you can always see that mountain when you look back, but the mountain looks different every time, depending on how far you will go. Now, you are my apprentice. The apprentice means that I will teach you something, and you will serve me temporarily."

Yuni and Cheese looked at each other and nodded mumly to show that they understood the master's meaning. Gray Robe's words do not completely rely on words and grammar to convey meaning. They contain more intuitive information. Even people who are not able to understand the language and are hostile can understand it.

However, this also made Cheese notice another interesting part of the apprentice, his overly silly expression. The sign that the boy was not as stupid as Uni's, on the contrary, this expression showed that the boy was being influenced by magic wholeheartedly. The spells that were originally used to stabilize emotions and convey information had a much higher effect than himself.

This is a kind of talent, at least in Cheese's opinion. Magic is not effective for everyone. When facing Wolf Walker, most magic will lose its due effect. Similarly, magic in any race, especially magic that does not directly act on life forms through medium, will be affected in various ways.

If the other party resists the spell, the effect of the spell will be reduced. If the other party is occupied by fear and surprise, some spells will even be invalid directly. This is why in the past casting of spells on companions, cheese always emphasized that it would relax their mindset, and intense emotions would make the magic unable to work.

But things have two sides. Some people are born to resist magic, while others are born to be easily influenced by magic. The latter often shows sensitivity beyond others, and there are many such people among artists. For such people, magic will enter their lives more easily, and the consequences may be good or bad.

This is the case for Unini. His body has a high ability to accept foreign magic, which makes him very suitable as a magic recipient. However, this does not mean that he is a good seedling for spell casters. Release and acceptance are different concepts.

Seeing this, Cheese paused for a moment, and a thought flashed through his mind, and he was deeply rooted there and refused to leave. So the mage had to try to think about how feasible this idea was and quickly came up with the result.

"Before you officially start your training, there is another test to be implemented, and you have to pass this test to prove that you are qualified to go on this path. And since I saved your life, I regret to inform you that you have no right to refuse this test, you can only accept and pass it. And I promise, this will not be the last test you have ever experienced."

Yuni showed an uneasy expression, and his inner fluctuations were put out of his body because of magic. Even if he didn't speak, Cheese could have a rough grasp of his thoughts. But the mage was not happy with this feeling of controlling others. He even hated the child in front of him who was affected by magic, because it reminded him of the puppet with no sense of autonomy.

Some spellcasters do like to collect such puppets. Whether as servants, spell casting props or even living magic containers, they all have cheap advantages that magical creations cannot compete for. But that is just an object, not an independent creature.

Thinking, thinking is the meaning of life's existence. This is the value created by the training of Gray Tower for Cheese. If a creature does not think, then the life it has is a waste.

To this day, many habits and views developed in the gray tower have been challenged in repeated encounters, but this is something that Cheese still believes in. Now, since he also has an apprentice, the apprentice should also understand this principle. This test is a good opportunity.
